Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 16:20

"He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteh in Jehovah, happy is he."These clauses are parallel. The man that heeds the Word of God is exactly the same man that trusts in Jehovah. A man can do neither without doing both. "There can be no real blessedness in life without one's trusting in the Lord. Men are so constituted that if their souls are to find rest, they must trust the loving power and wisdom of that Being who is stronger and wiser than themselves."[23] read more

Solomon expressed the earlier proverbs (chs. 10-15) mainly in antithetical parallelisms, but the proverbs in this section are mainly synonymous and synthetic parallelisms.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 16:1-33

Read, ’the preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.’ Man prepares his plans, but the decisive, final word is suggested by God. ’There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, roughhew them as we will.’2.
